Prisoner of war camp photos win Google competition

A photography competition run by Google has been won by Daniel Halasz from Hungary, whose entry featured images of a secret World War Two prisoner of war camp in Watten, in the Scottish Highlands.

"I did a lot of research before taking the images because I wanted to concentrate on this history of the place," Halasz explained. "The photos depict the location of a former Second World War camp for prisoners of war, where some of the most high ranking Nazi officers were held for re-education. The existence of this former camp was only revealed two years ago. I thought it was important to remind everyone of what happened in the war, because there is still so much hatred in the world towards people from other countries."
